[link] New Linux Bug Lets Attackers Hijack Encrypted VPN Connections
From Devi Garcia · Dec 07, 2019
A team of cybersecurity researchers has disclosed a new severe
vulnerability affecting most Linux and Unix-like operating systems,
including FreeBSD, OpenBSD, macOS, iOS, and Android, that could allow
remote 'network adjacent attackers' to spy on and tamper with encrypted
VPN connections.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2019-14899, resides in the networking
stack of various operating systems and can be exploited against both
IPv4 and IPv6 TCP streams
